Dialogue

In response to Ezio's signal, Bartolomeo and his mercenaries began their attack on the French soldiers, while Ezio's fellow Assassin turned to him and requested his aid.

Bartolomeo:Ezio. You have to save my wife. Take the rooftops.

Ezio chased after the Baron on the rooftops, until he reached a closed gate, before killing the four guards in front of it to gain access. He then reached the gate's lever and opened it, to witness Octavian dragging Pantasilea into his keep. The Baron noticed Ezio, turned, and shot his wheellock pistol at Ezio, who was able to evade the shot.

The Baron's final moments

Ezio surmised that he had to kill the Baron without being detected, or else Pantasilea would be killed. With this, Ezio worked his way around the guards, and killed the Baron from above.

Outcome

Ezio managed to rescue Pantasilea, but gave credit to Bartolomeo. He also succeeded in assassinating the Baron de Valois, which removed the French army from Rome and weakened Cesare Borgia's grip on the city.

Trivia

If Ezio was detected, a cutscene would appear, depicting the Baron shooting Pantasilea in the head.
